YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The American education system is at a tipping point. For years, we’ve faced plummeting academic achievement outcomes, leftist ideology in classrooms, a tendency to replace teaching with technology, and the removal of the greatest works of Western Civilization from the curriculum. Our country and our children deserve better.

How can we fix this broken system? Join The Heritage Foundation, Divine Mercy Academy (an independent, classical Catholic K-8th school), and leaders in American education for a two-part discussion on challenges our children face in the classroom and practical solutions offered through alternatives to the traditional district model of schooling.
